Merchandising and other goodies
Gunpla Expo Tokyo will be held August 11 through 16.

In September, 28 places countrywide will have an advance screening of episode 1 of Gundam 00.

Gundam 00 merchandise will show up in Gundam War cards (Double O Double Get Campaign starting in August), HGCORE figures (September), HGIF character figures and SD Gundam Full Color Custom 13 (October), and G Flex from the Candy Division (October).

Gundam 00 will also invade major product lines as well, including MSiA, the apparently new 00 Region line, and HCM-Pro with the Gundam Exia (September, 2,300 yen) and Gundam Dynames (October, 2,300 yen).

Gundam 00 will differ from Gundam SEED in that, according to Bandai President Kazunori Ueno, the 4 main characters will appeal not only to female fans gained with the previous Gundam, but to male fans who prefer harsh outlooks of the world.
